 Holistic marketing concept in Marks and Spencer (M & S) is that business marketing concept which considers all parts of the
business as a single entity and gives a common purpose to every activity and person connected with the business.
 In the case of retailers like M & S, it could be restricted only to selling or the marketing concepts. It is due to fact that they operate
for both the purposes. They want goods to move out of the stores as early as possible and for that, they implement the selling
concept where they offer low price and buy one get one offer.
